Steps to find the password for users as sysdba

What are the steps to find the password for users in dba_users as sysdba?
It is in encrypted form ? How can I view it ?
Pls tell in steps ?

I asked for sysdba
When he can change password why can't he view ?Can you see the users password on a windows domain? No
Can you see the users password on a Unix box? No
Can you see the users password on a mail server? No
Why would it be different in Oracle?
Why is hacking coming here ?Because it's something against the way the software works.
This can, and is, dangerous to let the administrator (Oracle, MsSQL, Win*, Unix,...) know the users password for so many reasons. For example:
. Privacy
. Etiquette
. Password reuse (password reused for Bank account, etc)
. [insert a whole bunch of other good reasons I'm not going to bother writing]
And anyway it is useless!

    How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

    DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • Need to find the password for the home wi-fi connection in order to connect iPhone

    I'm trying to find the password for the home wi-fi system and can't locate the paper on which it is written.  I thought there was a way to find it in the system preferences but am striking out.  The home server is a Linksys unit, not an Airport base station.  I am on an older iMac running 10.4.11.  Thanks for the assist.

    Found the answer.  :-)

  • The IMAP server ... rejected the password for user ...

    When I went to bed last night, Apple Mail (Lion, MacBook Pro) worked fine on my home IMAP server, as they have done for some time.
    This morning, I cannot log in and I now get the following error message:
    The IMAP server “...” rejected the password for user “...”.
    The password is definitely correct.  I have typed in the password repeatedly (although it was already correct) to no avail - I just get the same error message again.
    Since then, I have tried:
    my Linux laptop using Thunderbird
    my Xoom (running Android ICS) and K9
    my SGS2 (running Honeycomb) and K9
    my iPad 2 using IOS Mail
    Roundcube (webmail client) on the MacBook Pro itself (so no connectivity issues)
    and all still work perfectly.  There have been no changes to my mail server (which is Dovecot running on Debian Squeeze, which has been running flawlessly for years) and none to my MacBook Pro (unless they were silent).
    I have tried deleting all the relevant items from my keychain, but that has made no difference either.
    Any ideas because I'm stumped?

    Since I posted this, there has been more, but slightly different, weirdness.
    In the middle of a session yesterday, Apple Mail started to do something different.  When I typed in the password, it briefly worked (downloading one or two messages) and then the error dialogue box popped up again so clearly the password was always correct.
    A short while later, it accepted the password and stopped complaining until ten minutes ago.  This time I only had to type in the password once and it is working at the moment but who knows how long for?

  • The POP server rejected the password for user

    Hi Im new to this forum but need help! I can usually fix most things on my mac but the last 2 weeks mail will not recieve any incoming messages as is just says "The POP server “mailin.macmail.com” rejected the password for user “****”
    I have looked at other postings and tried keychain etc but nothing will work. This happens with 2 accounts one from macmail and one from NTL (my ISP) I can send mail fine (no password) and can go on to webmail and get my messeages fine on both accounts.
    Does anyone have an answer for this?
    Many thanks

    Sorry I can't be of help, I know of others with this problem. In my case I have two accounts that don't work in Mail whilst the other accounts do. I suspect it may be a bug as I've been looking for a solution for sometime. My current solution is to collect the mail on those accounts with an XP netbook which is probably not very helpful!
    I have also tried the Keychain repair and at least for a short while it looked as if it had fixed it.
    Any ideas anybody before I go through the hassle of reinstalling everything?

  • Mail: The POP server rejected the password for user

    I am completely unable to use Mail.
    I keep getting the "The POP server rejected the password for user" on two of my accounts.
    The password has not changed and I have entered it correctly.
    The accounts just will not go online.
    This started yesterday when an old machine accidentally fired up mail and tried to connect using the same user details. Since then, my MacBook Pro is not able to connect to my mail.
    My iPad and my iPhone can. There is no problem at the server or the ISP. I have also run the Keychain repair utility.
    Please can you advise how I should fix it? Plist? Define the accounts again?
    Any ideas welcome.
    Thanks

  • I can not find the password for my keychain

    I can nor remember the password for my local keychain. How do i change this?
    Thanks.

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Follow the directions in this support article.
    Step 2
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the iCloud keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    Step 3
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
    Step 4
    Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
    Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
    Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
    You can then close the folder.
    Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
    Select
    File ▹ Add Keychain...
    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
    Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.

  • How do i find the password for my ipod classic

    Hey guys I'm having a problem with my ipod it's saying if need an password but I have no idea what it is, it locked my out so I have plugged it into my laptop with which I registered my ipod but I cannot find the password to unlock it on the registration so any ideas folks short of sending it into Apple Store!!

    The Apple Store cannot help recover your password.
    See iPod: How to use the Screen Lock - Apple Support.
    Work out what password you set, or restore the device. Assuming your media is in your library this takes some time but isn't otherwise difficult. If you've manually managed the iPod without keeping the media in your library you now know why this is not a good idea. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Off hand I don't know if the various media recovery tools or techniques work with a password locked iPod classic, but quite possibly not.
